Breastfeeding is a learning experience for mom and baby both, kindly ask your bf to give you a break and not stress you out because stress effects you and baby and makes it harder to nurse! If you can, contact you local WIC office or Le Leche League and speak to a lactation consultant, they can even meet with you to give you tips to make it easier. The first few weeks will be a learning experience and your nipples will probably hurt until you both get it down, but I promise it gets better! Find a position that is comfortable for you, lean back a little bit, hug the baby close to you with their belly touching yours, and try swiping your nipple from baby's nose down to get her to open wide, once that mouth is open, bring the baby to you, not the breast to baby...once latched check to make sure that as much of the areola as the baby can fit is in there, usually a bit more in at the bottom lip than the top lip, baby's nose is pointed up a bit and free to breathe, chin tucked into the breast, and both lips flared out like duck lips and not sucked in. If baby is falling asleep and not sucking very much, play with her feets or try unlatching her and changing her to wake her up and try again. Let her nurse as long as she wants and when she unlatches herself, offer the other breast and let her do the same. The more stimulation, the better! If you have any questions let me know, breastfeeding can be hard but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad and someday you will wonder how you struggled so much lol I know I do!
he does help and he see's that its hard but he just thinks im doing it wrong and i dont know how to
The more you stress the harder it will be. It was difficult for me because I have inverted nipples. I had to pump and the pumping helped create a nipple and at 3 months she latched on. Do you think you have inverted nipples?
Tell him to help get the baby to latch then since it's so easy
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Just remember it takes time! And it IS hard!! But you can do it with practice! It took me three weeks to get a hold of it. Hang in there!
